Tshwane Mayor Nasiphi Moya reaffirms the city’s commitment to relocate residents of Plastic View Informal Settlement after a disastrous fire on weekend.
Plans to relocate residents of Plastic View, the fire-prone informal settlement in Pretoria east, have not changed, says Tshwane Mayor Nasiphi Moya.
This comes after another fire broke out at the informal settlement over the weekend, destroying multiple shacks, leaving many homeless, and killing one person.
In 2020, the city said objections and the Covid-19 pandemic had delayed plans to establish a new township Pretorius Park Extension 4 to accommodate Plastic View residents.
According to the city, the physical development of the site could not proceed unless the township establishment application and a general plan were approved.
